Foyle's philavery a treasury of unusual words
A treasury of unusual words collected by one of the foremost names in the UK book trade. Introduction by the author. Personal commentaries on many words. Clear and attractive presentation. A perfect gift for aficionados of language. The word 'philavery' was invented to describe this book? a collection of words chosen simply on the grounds of their aesthetic appeal. Some of these words appeal because of their aptness, some for their obscurity, some for their euphony, and some for their quirkiness. As a collection, they represent the fruits of a lifetime of reading and will delight all word lov.
